Avtron AV485 240 PPR N1D8L8LP000 Incremental Encoder

Avtron AV485 SMARTach III incremental encoder, part number AV485-N1D8L8LP000, is a severe-duty shafted rotary encoder that provides high-resolution position feedback for demanding automation and motion-control applications. The L designation indicates 240 PPR, while the N designation denotes a -20°C to +80°C operating range, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. Configured for robust drive integration, this variant supports hi-power 5-24 V input with a corresponding 5-24 V output and offers standard quadrature outputs (A, B, Z) with complements as defined by the build. The AV485 family delivers reliable performance up to approximately 45 kHz, enabling accurate feedback at moderate to high rotational speeds. Typical uses include rotary position feedback to servo drives and PLC-based automation systems in manufacturing, with applicability across robotics, CNC machinery, conveyors, and other automated equipment that rely on precise and repeatable motion data. Modern AV485 encoders may require a separate foot mounting bracket for proper installation.
